Real human rights - without any religious blackmail     G. Tingey • 6 April 2006 In the profile of Maryam Namazie, it says … “a Marxism that values human rights”. What sort of Marxism is that? Not one I’ve ever seen before. Given that Marxism is a classic religion itself, with the body-count to prove it, I find it hard to believe. Good on Ms. Namazie for rubbishing the religious blackmail of Islam, but one must not jump straight from one totalitarian, murdering straitjacket to another.     Index: Current Articles + Latest News and Views + Book Reviews + Letters + Archives
